With all due respect, I think this part was the single-most self-righteous and politically incorrect part of the entire program. I have nothing against people practicing their religion because heck, I would want them to respect my belief (or non-belief) as well. But when someone presumptuously claims that blogging in general should be used to lead us closer to (You) god, I don’t think it’s a good thing.

It’s very offensive. I know my opinion is going to be very unpopular and some people might even say that I’m overreacting, but that’s just because I’m in the minority. If somebody else assumed that your blog was meant to forward the interests of Satanism, most of you will be pissed as well.

I have nothing against the practice of religion – again, I respect others’ rights to verbalize their faith IN THE RIGHT VENUE. I wasn’t the only person who was irked by that shameless and insensitive “prayer” and I’m definintely not the only atheist/agnostic/non-believer in attendance. I don’t blog to forward any esoteric/metaphysical gain as recklessly assumed in the prayer.

I comment whenever I like a post on a site or if I have something to
add to the discussion. It’s a result of the sincerness communicated in the article I read.
And after this post A Blogger?s Prayer ? The Philippine Blog Awards.
I was moved enough to write a commenta response I actually do have 2 questions for you if it’s okay.
Is it only me or do a few of the responses look as if they are coming
from brain dead folks? And, if you are writing at other sites, I’d like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post.
Would you list every one of your public pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your blog.
It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant
for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme?
Excellent work!
